Solistico and Friends: Ana Liz Ojeda

Born in Valdivia (Chile), Ana Liz Ojeda began studying violin at the age of seven. A scholarship allowed him to continue his training at Columbus College (USA) with Patricio Cobos. In 1995 he moved to Europe, where he studied at the Hochschule für Musik Detmold (Germany) under the tutelage of Marco Rizzi. A prolific career that has led her to play with various European orchestras until she became the leader of the second violins of the “Giuseppe Verdi” Symphony Orchestra of Milan.

Today, Ana Liz has a name in the baroque violin, thanks to her studies with Ryo Terakado at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague (Netherlands) and Stefano Montanari at the Scuola Civica di Musica in Milan (Italy).

GAM arrives for the first time with the Orquesta Solístico de Santiago, a non-profit cultural association made up of musicians from the Santiago Philharmonic Orchestra who, since 2013, have spread music as an essential component of culture, contributing to the cultivation of a taste for “concert music” in various settings in the country. "The group has revitalized the traditional, baroque, classical, romantic, impressionist and contemporary repertoire, bringing universal works and national compositions to diverse audiences. Through concerts in cultural, heritage and community spaces, the orchestra not only promotes access to learned music, but also contributes to enriching the cultural fabric of the country," comments Ana Liz.

The repertoire to be performed consists of the following works by the composer Antonio Vivaldi: Symphony of "Tito Manlio" RV 14, Concerto Op. 3 no. 5 "L'estro armonico" for two violins and string orchestra and "Il Cimento dell'Armonia e dell'Inventione" Op. 8. They will also performConcert no. 1 for violin, strings and b.c. in E major "The Spring" RV 269; Concert no. 2 for violin, strings and b.c. in G minor "El Verano" RV 315; Concert no. 3 for violin, strings and b.c. in F major "The Autumn" RV 293 and Concerto no. 4 for violin, strings and b.c. in F minor "The Winter" RV 297.

"It is a cycle of four concerts for violin and orchestra that musically represent each of the seasons of the year: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Each concert is composed of three movements (fast-slow-fast) and is accompanied by a sonnet (written by Vivaldi himself or attributed to him), which describes characteristic scenes of each season, such as summer storms, bird songs, the autumn harvest or the winter cold," adds Ojeda.
